Robert Burns (1759–1796)

How Burns Night Boosts Scottish Tourism | Pillow Partners

On Friday, P4/3 celebrated Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns. He was a famous poet and songwriter and known for writing in Scots. He wrote about nature, love, and animals, with famous works like “Auld Lang Syne”. His birthday is celebrated annually on 25th January (Burns Night) with suppers featuring haggis, neeps and tatties and his poetry. He was born in Alloway, Ayrshire, to a farming family and he often wrote about the lives of ordinary people. His work remains globally recognised!

Children enjoyed learning some facts about the life of Robert Burns, listening to highland music and had a wee taste of some Scottish treats including shortbread, tablet, oatcakes with cheese and (sugar free!) Irn-Bru.

P4/3 New year, new house corner

Leave a comment

At the beginning of the new term we had our business meeting to decide what we wanted our house corner to be. Jenson chaired the meeting and Macie took the minutes. Everyone had lots of great ideas but in the end, after a fair vote, it was decided to turn it into a Starbucks. Everyone has been busy designing and creating different parts of the coffee shop for play.  We designed the outside and inside, we have a drive through window with a headset to speak to the customers, a road and some cars.  We made menus, snacks, cakes, drinks, ice cubes, a fridge for storage and lots more. We look forward to having lots of time to play and learn in our new area.

A new term in P4/3

Leave a comment

We have had a very busy start to the new term.
Out new IDL topic is Our Community. We started by looking at the difference between our wants and needs. We now know that our needs are the things we require to live and be healthy whereas our wants are things that make our life more comfortable.

We then investigated the services that are available in our Community to help with our wants and needs.

Jorja – We have a doctors surgery

Siena – We have fire fighters

Amber – We use the Vets

Jenson – There is a police station

Evan – We have shops for food

In maths we have started our work on Multiplication. We used lots of practical equipment to help us learn different strategies to help us. We can use repeated addition, skip counting and arrays. P3 have been working on the 2 and 5 times tables and P4 have been working within the 3 and 4 times tables.

P4/3 Christmas Party

Leave a comment

P4/3 had great fun this week at the Christmas Party. We played pass the parcel and the corners game. We loved dancing to our favourite K-Pop songs, we really have some fantastic dancers. We also loved dancing to some of the  old classics like the cha cha slide and the Macarena. We had some yummy party food and then topped off the day with a Gillespies ice-cream. We were extremely lucky to have a very special visitor, Santa! He managed to take time out of his busy schedule to come and check we have been good this year and he gave us all a sweetie. Thank you Santa!
